On Monday, Liberty Middle School officially opens to students.
Parents and students can get a look at the new school at this Thursday’s Open House (August 9), which will take place all day. What they will find is a school on the cutting edge of learning.
LMS has plenty of bells and whistles and will be a showcase of learning for Bedford County Public Schools. The Liberty zone, as well as the entire county, has plenty to be proud of with the new school.

Virginia State Police Trooper N.J. Houck has obtained charges against the 17-year-old male driver who was allegedly responsible for the May 6, 2018, fatal crash in Bedford County.
Those charges include DUI, manslaughter-DUI, maiming-DUI, reckless driving, driving between midnight and 4 a.m., and driving with three or more passengers under the age of 21.

Faith in an individual or an idea is admirable. Blind faith is not. Despite vivid evidence of a cultural crisis at Bedford County Public Schools under the leadership of Drs. Doug Schuch and Mac Duis, some elected officials remain steadfast in their support of these men.

The Bedford Farmers Market has been run by the YMCA since 2015 and has as its goal to promote local agriculture and provide Bedford with the freshest farm products.

Here are some examples of how Bedford Farmers Market does this:

OVERVIEW- The lake has been busy the past several weekends! Largemouth bass fishing has been good at night this past month! Water temperature will be in the upper 80’s. Best times will be early morning, late afternoon and at night. August can be a good month to fish for stripers.

As public schools open shortly across the land,this letter to the editor written 50 years ago appeared May 16, 1968, written by the late Mrs. Lula Falls of Forest. She was a frequent writer to the Bedford Bulletin and wrote this letter when she was 82 years old.

Friday, July 27 Liberty hosted a youth football picnic for men, women, boys and girls of all ages. Nearly 200 people attended and enjoyed great food and fellowship with members of the community. Jonge Tate and the Bedrock Church hosted the event and Steve Lloyd and a team of volunteers supplied and cooked the food for all those in attendance.

So right off the bat let’s just address the title of this. I’m sure, “Key West and the cat man” might sound like a weird murder-mystery novel or something of the sort. But I assure you–at least to the best of my knowledge–no one involved in this story has any history of murder.
